Walking on the road, Qi Lele suddenly sighed softly.

"What sigh?"

"It's nothing, I just think it's not easy for everyone." Qi Lele said: "The eldest aunt has always been more open-minded, but I didn't expect that today I was so anxious that I was about to cry because of those sick silkworms."

Xie Zi'an tilted his head: "Maybe it's because of the war. For ordinary people, war is terrible and cruel, and if it drags on, it will be miserable."

After all, wars are all about money and people, and it is not excluded that there are people in the court who want to make war money!

Didn't you see that this war had just started, and it began to recruit soldiers on a large scale? How could the imperial court, which had not fought for more than ten years, lack that little bit of recruits, but it was just for the 20 taels per household!

Xie Zi'an couldn't say these words thoroughly, but he didn't know that Qi Lele actually understood them.

It's because I know it that I can't help but sigh.

"I don't think it's a good time to develop boron glass!"

After speaking, without waiting for Xie Zi'an to respond, Qi Lele said again: "You see, the border pass is still fighting, and I don't know when the war will be over, should we focus on hoarding grain now, and put our main energy and silver on agriculture and animal husbandry, just in case?"

Xie Zi'an bowed: "Madame is right."

Qi Lele continued, "In addition, to develop boron glass, we have to hire people and build kilns, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and costly."

"The point is, I don't know how long it will take or even if it will be able to produce results! How can we have so much silver to squander now?"

Xie Zi'an responded, "Not really."

Qi Lele breathed a sigh of relief: "Since we have reached an agreement, then you go and talk to Jing Yan Jingyue and ask them not to develop syringes first."

Xie Zi'an shook her hand, and then let go: "Madame, would you like to listen to me?"

Qi Lele looked at him.

"It's true that this matter is not in a hurry, but it doesn't have to stop there." Xie Zi'an said: "The syringe is a brand new thing, just listening to the description of the lady, you know that it is extremely difficult to make it, so it is okay for the two brothers to try it slowly."

"As for the development of boron glass, since Madame has a heart, we can inquire about the right candidates first, and then come to the door when we want to develop it in the future."

Qi Lele thought about it and nodded in agreement. After all, the construction of the site is easy, and the talent who presides over the work is indeed rare.

The three of them didn't go home, they went to pick mulberry leaves first, and standing under the tree, Qi Lele suddenly remembered something.

"The eldest aunt said that she saw that other people's homes also washed the silkworm plaque and dried it and continued to use it, and she was not the only one who had sick silkworms! Shall we have a conversation with Li Zhengzhi? Let him remind everyone that I think he is quite concerned about silkworm farming."

Xie Zi'an also straightened his face: "Okay, after picking the mulberry leaves, you go back first, and I'll go to find Lizheng."

"Be careful alone."

Xie Zi'an responded with a smile.

On the other hand, Li Zheng really has a headache, because his silkworms have also died a lot today.

His mother-in-law, Li Shi, and daughter-in-law, Feng, knew that he cared about this, and when they found out that the silkworm was dead, they immediately called him back from the private school.

"How so? Didn't you raise them as they taught?"

Li said, "That's what they say!"

"Then why are there so many deaths?"

Li was a little annoyed by the question: "Where do I know!"

Li Zheng frowned and walked back and forth in the house, in the past two days, when the big guy was working in the private school, he would mention it from time to time, saying that the silkworms in the house were wrong, but because he was present, he didn't say much.

But he knew in his heart that everyone was willing to raise silkworms earlier, with the mentality of trying it out, and if it can be done, it is the best, and it can be regarded as adding some household to the family.

But this is different at this time, the court is at war, and the conscription has begun again, and if you don't want to leave, you have to pay twenty taels of silver, who doesn't feel distressed?

The silkworm that was not taken seriously

But I was pinned on high hopes, pointing to how much money I could get back.

At this time, the silkworms in everyone's house began to die in pieces, what would everyone think of him?

Either the silkworm seeds he got without money were not good, or the people he invited to raise silkworms were not right!

You say the county master? That's the county master! Who dares to blame?

When Xie Zi'an came, Li Zheng had just made up his mind to go to the county yali again to ask.

Hearing Xie Zi'an's intention, and listening to him talk about what happened in Qi before, Li Zhengdeng became excited, and immediately called Li and Feng over and asked a few questions.

Li was still angry and didn't say anything.

Fung replied in a proper manner: "The silkworm plaques are cleaned and dried every day before being used; Mulberry leaves are also clean and free of water; We've expanded the seats, but we haven't divided the size of the silkworm."

Li Zheng said, "Why don't I take you to the silkworm house to have a look?"

Xie Zi'an seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said, "Okay."

Different from the silkworm room that was obviously changed from the firewood house, the silkworm room of the Lizheng family uses a serious room, the windows are bright and clean, and the light is transparent.

There were several silkworm racks in the silkworm room, each silkworm rack was full of silkworm plaques, and Xie Zi'an's eyes swept over the silkworm plaques.

Feng Shi pointed to some of the silkworms and said, "Actually, two days ago, my mother felt that something was wrong with some silkworms, but I couldn't say that there was anything wrong, and then today a lot of them died at once."

Xie Zi'an looked at the silkworms that Feng pointed at, if he hadn't accompanied his little lady to feed the mulberry leaves every day, I am afraid that he would not have seen anything wrong! Rao can see it, and he doesn't know why, just because these sick silkworms in front of him don't match the situations that Qi Lele said before!

Careless!

After pondering for a moment, Xie Zi'an decisively repeated Qi Lele's practice of teaching Liu.

Li Zheng did not doubt that he was there, and the Li family and the Feng family were even more obedient and immediately got busy.

In the evening, Qi Lele heard Xie Zi'an's repeated words, thought about the situation at that time, and couldn't help but pound the bed with laughter.

"I made you so round!"

Xie Zi'an let her laugh, but he was not annoyed: "I entrusted her to the big one, can Madam tell me that the way I relayed the handling method is appropriate?"

"It is certainly right to isolate the sick silkworms and thoroughly disinfect the silkworm houses and sericulture tools. Just sprinkling water and feeding tender mulberry leaves has no effect on most diseased silkworms."

Xie Zi'an seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "It's good to be able to protect the silkworms that are not yet sick."

"I saw that the sick silkworms in Lizheng's house didn't quite match what Madame said, but they were strangely sick?"

Qi Lele couldn't help but want to laugh again: "There are actually many kinds of causes of silkworms, and the three things I told my aunt are only the most common, and the symptoms are relatively obvious, so it is best to distinguish them; If the eldest aunt is not right, I will talk about something else, after all, it is such a long way, I have to say something, right?"

"I see."

Xie Zi'an chuckled, as if he didn't expect that he would be so gullible.
